So it'll be fun and we'll see how 0:01:07.520 --> 0:01:10.200 things go on Sunday. Nick, give me a sixty five. 0:01:10.280 --> 0:01:14.240 Let's get this thing rolls. Andre Girard, I knew exactly 0:01:14.240 --> 0:01:16.280 who I mean. He had to. I saw himunday at 0:01:16.319 --> 0:01:18.800 the game. Actually, yeah, I mean last that was not less? 0:01:18.959 --> 0:01:22.360 Was that last? He was awesome? Yeah, he's great player. 0:01:22.360 --> 0:01:25.279 I mean, unfortunately for him, he had to have somebody 0:01:25.360 --> 0:01:28.600 step on his face yea before he could really get 0:01:28.640 --> 0:01:31.319 to that name recognition and like, oh he was a guy. 0:01:31.360 --> 0:01:33.000 Oh he's a good player too. The next thing you know, 0:01:33.000 --> 0:01:35.640 he makes five Pro Bowls. But I'll say this, he 0:01:35.720 --> 0:01:39.000 had probably the funniest thing I've ever heard anyone say. 0:01:39.360 --> 0:01:42.160 I've told it before, but it's so funny. No, no, 0:01:42.200 --> 0:01:45.119 not the hockey story. Hockey story is funny too. But 0:01:45.360 --> 0:01:47.680 he basically was on our air talking about going to 0:01:47.720 --> 0:01:50.640 that dude ranch that yeah, in two thousand and two, 0:01:50.760 --> 0:01:53.560 and he was talking about Troy Hamburg taking this pig 0:01:53.600 --> 0:01:56.120 and dragging this pig by the feet around and throwing 0:01:56.120 --> 0:01:59.960 this pig around and he and Ridgard goes, I'm pretty 0:02:00.120 --> 0:02:04.400 sure he tore that pigs acl and like that was funny. 0:02:04.440 --> 0:02:06.200 But yeah, he said he wanted to play hockey, be 0:02:06.240 --> 0:02:08.760 the first guy to ever throw someone over the glass. 0:02:09.400 --> 0:02:10.960 He didn't do that. He never played, but it did 0:02:11.040 --> 0:02:13.359 play center and he played pretty good. Ron Larry was 0:02:13.360 --> 0:02:16.000 a good choice. To sixty five. But Andre Girard and 0:02:16.040 --> 0:02:19.720 he's he's the best choice. Good number, good good good, 0:02:20.080 --> 0:02:23.160 good player, fun player. All right, you looking at me, 0:02:23.240 --> 0:02:25.520 I'm like, oh, no, idea, what that is. You don't know? Andre, 0:02:26.120 --> 0:02:29.920 he works he was. No, he doesn't work here anymore, 0:02:29.960 --> 0:02:31.519 but he was. He was worked here for the time. 0:02:31.560 --> 0:02:33.160 I know he's worked here. At some point we probably 0:02:33.280 --> 0:02:35.920 might I see his face. I'm noble with names. Yeah, 0:02:36.000 --> 0:02:39.440 you know, I loved about it when Andre was um 0:02:39.639 --> 0:02:43.560 he was We went to Washington, we went to the 0:02:44.120 --> 0:02:48.480 uh it was the African American History Museum of History, 0:02:48.680 --> 0:02:50.800 and it was really cool because we all we were 0:02:50.800 --> 0:02:53.360 all were there and it was you know, as you go, 0:02:53.800 --> 0:02:55.760 as you go up up there and it gets a 0:02:55.800 --> 0:02:58.080 lot lighter and better, and he shows a lot of 0:02:58.080 --> 0:03:00.679 the athletes and entertainers and all that. And there was 0:03:00.720 --> 0:03:03.520 that part where he was talking about the center position. 0:03:03.720 --> 0:03:06.120 It is one of the very few positions in the 0:03:06.200 --> 0:03:09.400 league that has African American centers and I mean the 0:03:09.440 --> 0:03:12.399 African American starters, and he was one of the very 0:03:12.840 --> 0:03:14.400 first ones. He was real proud of that, and he 0:03:14.440 --> 0:03:16.040 was there and he should have been and it was 0:03:16.080 --> 0:03:18.799 it was cool, just talking to him out there as well. 0:03:18.800 --> 0:03:20.720 You don't you don't think about it, but yeah, there 0:03:20.880 --> 0:03:22.760 there hasn't been one that has a lot of African 0:03:22.800 --> 0:03:25.000 Americans and he was and he was really good. He 0:03:25.080 --> 0:03:29.200 was really really good. Um. Yeah, and I'd say that 0:03:29.240 --> 0:03:31.839 tongue in cheek about that happened in two thousand and six. 0:03:32.200 --> 0:03:35.000 You know, with Haynesworth, he was ready to be a star. 0:03:35.120 --> 0:03:36.680 He was about to be a star, and that just 0:03:36.920 --> 0:03:39.920 unfortunate thing that happened. He handled it as good as 0:03:39.920 --> 0:03:42.080 you could possibly. But it was also because of how 0:03:42.120 --> 0:03:44.200 it happened too, because I think the reason why he 0:03:44.240 --> 0:03:46.480 got stopped is because it stopped his face because he 0:03:46.520 --> 0:03:48.320 was killing It was like he was destroying that dude 0:03:48.320 --> 0:03:51.440 that game, and he just got frustrated. Hainesworth got frustrated 0:03:51.720 --> 0:03:54.000 and decided to get dirty. Um. And so I think 0:03:54.200 --> 0:03:56.040 I think it just brought more attention to the fact 0:03:56.080 --> 0:03:59.800 that no draw was handling him, handling him easily, last 0:04:00.160 --> 0:04:02.920 easily be handling him well and um and so I 0:04:02.920 --> 0:04:05.040 think that kind of got a little more attention on 0:04:05.120 --> 0:04:07.600 just how well he was playing the position. Okay, I 0:04:07.720 --> 0:04:12.080 definitely know him. Yeah, and by the way, he's the 0:04:12.080 --> 0:04:14.600 most friendly guy too, So if you're around, I'm sure 0:04:14.600 --> 0:04:16.240 he would come around and say Hi. I kind of 0:04:16.240 --> 0:04:19.040 think this. Yeah, Andre's a good dude. All right, Um, 0:04:19.120 --> 0:04:21.440 let's jump into some storylines. We do this every Friday. 0:04:21.480 --> 0:04:25.320 I have a list of different questions slash storylines that 0:04:25.320 --> 0:04:27.800 that I think will be important to this game. Uh, 0:04:27.960 --> 0:04:31.719 let's start first with kind of just a big picture thing. Um, 0:04:31.839 --> 0:04:34.080 this game has the potential to be one that that 0:04:34.240 --> 0:04:36.400 could be. I don't know. You know, they could score 0:04:36.440 --> 0:04:37.840 eighty points between the two of them, and I don't 0:04:37.839 --> 0:04:40.359 think anybody would be surprised by that. My question for 0:04:40.400 --> 0:04:42.880 you guys is if this turns into a shootout, who 0:04:42.880 --> 0:04:49.719 benefits more, Kansas City or Dallas. UM, I think Dallas 0:04:49.800 --> 0:04:53.000 does because I just think I think that there. Their 0:04:53.080 --> 0:04:56.560 offense is better. I think they have more. Dallas's offense 0:04:56.640 --> 0:04:58.279 is better, I do. I do think it has it 0:04:58.279 --> 0:05:00.400 has more weapons. We talked about this straight on a 0:05:00.440 --> 0:05:02.760 different show. But you know, if you if you give 0:05:02.800 --> 0:05:04.880 me the best weapon, Kansas City's got it, give me 0:05:04.920 --> 0:05:07.400 the top three weapons they probably have two, give me 0:05:07.400 --> 0:05:09.640 the top ten. Dallas probably has seven of them, six 0:05:09.680 --> 0:05:11.720 of them. So at the end of the day, they're 0:05:11.760 --> 0:05:13.799 gonna have. They have more and they have an offensive 0:05:13.839 --> 0:05:16.200 line than I think's better. So I think they're going 0:05:16.240 --> 0:05:20.280 to be able to keep scoring the best. I think. 0:05:20.320 --> 0:05:21.920 I think they will be able to do that. So 0:05:22.279 --> 0:05:26.039 I would say Dallas in a shootout there trying to 0:05:26.120 --> 0:05:30.760 look up. Okay, if you guys have good memory, out 0:05:30.760 --> 0:05:33.960 of all the games they've played so far, what are 0:05:34.000 --> 0:05:36.280 the games that has being a very good back and 0:05:36.320 --> 0:05:39.880 forth back and forth other than the first game? Yeah, 0:05:39.920 --> 0:05:44.160 other than Damna, I mean Kansas City. I mean not 0:05:44.240 --> 0:05:47.320 Kansas City. Um, Los Angeles was close, but I don't know, 0:05:47.360 --> 0:05:49.080 they was like back and forth. They went a ton 0:05:49.120 --> 0:05:51.120 of points scored. Name well, there was a few points 0:05:51.160 --> 0:05:53.720 scored in the Carolina game. It was just not considered 0:05:53.800 --> 0:05:55.800 back and forth. It was like the Cowboy It was 0:05:55.839 --> 0:05:59.040 close early. Cowboys took a big lead into the fourth quarter, 0:05:59.160 --> 0:06:01.640 Carolina got back into it and then you know they 0:06:01.640 --> 0:06:04.320 won thirty six twenty eight. That's pretty high scoring game. Yeah, 0:06:04.640 --> 0:06:07.360 but that wasn't really back and forth. I mean New 0:06:07.400 --> 0:06:11.000 England maybe New England. Yeah, I mean New England obviously 0:06:11.080 --> 0:06:13.240 took that that early lead and then they kind of 0:06:13.800 --> 0:06:15.920 that was came back in but I mean that was 0:06:15.960 --> 0:06:17.640 a game that was kind of a back and forth 0:06:17.680 --> 0:06:19.240 kind of game. To me, at least, it felt like 0:06:19.279 --> 0:06:20.960 that from the standpoint that it was kind of like 0:06:20.960 --> 0:06:23.440 these ebbs and flows in the game where one team 0:06:23.480 --> 0:06:25.320 was on top, then the other teams on top, then 0:06:25.360 --> 0:06:26.960 the other teams, you know what I'm saying, just kind 0:06:27.000 --> 0:06:28.680 of I guess that would be the next one, like 0:06:28.880 --> 0:06:31.120 closest one that was like that. I'm trying to like 0:06:31.760 --> 0:06:34.599 kind of think back and compare. Okay, how have the 0:06:34.680 --> 0:06:38.440 Cowboys offense responded to games like that to where it's 0:06:38.480 --> 0:06:41.520 really kind of keeping up and staying on top, and 0:06:41.560 --> 0:06:44.520 how has the end result been? And we saw it, 0:06:44.520 --> 0:06:46.720 I mean Week one, that was as close as they 0:06:46.760 --> 0:06:48.680 could get and it was fun and they were just 0:06:48.839 --> 0:06:51.400 right there and you kept you keep saying it. Had 0:06:51.440 --> 0:06:54.880 it not been for it's like Martin being lank, they 0:06:54.880 --> 0:06:56.640 would have won that game. I think they Yeah, I 0:06:56.640 --> 0:06:58.000 think they could have. I think they could have been 0:06:58.040 --> 0:07:01.480 more complete. The thing is about a shootout is can 0:07:01.560 --> 0:07:03.760 you score? I mean you need to score. Can you 0:07:03.839 --> 0:07:07.159 go score? Against the Bucks? They needed to go down 0:07:07.200 --> 0:07:09.360 and get a field goal. They did, and then they 0:07:09.360 --> 0:07:11.960 needed more time off the clock. So that, you know, 0:07:12.000 --> 0:07:14.440 but they did. They needed points there. They needed points 0:07:14.520 --> 0:07:17.040 even in that Carolina game when they got closed, they 0:07:17.040 --> 0:07:19.280 need to go get first down. They were able to 0:07:19.320 --> 0:07:21.840 do that. They were able to score against the Patriots 0:07:21.880 --> 0:07:24.520 when they just had to have it Cedric Wilson fourth down. 0:07:24.880 --> 0:07:26.840 They were able to score against the Vikings when they 0:07:26.880 --> 0:07:29.640 had to go down. So they've shown this year that 0:07:29.640 --> 0:07:31.600 when they really have to go make a drive, even 0:07:31.600 --> 0:07:34.000 the Chargers at the end of the game, they've done that. 0:07:34.160 --> 0:07:36.200 So that's what a shootout is about. And I think 0:07:36.200 --> 0:07:38.080 that back of them can do it. And the other 0:07:38.080 --> 0:07:40.600 thing about a shootout, in my opinion, is typically the 0:07:40.640 --> 0:07:43.480 defenses don't make as much of an impact, but which 0:07:43.480 --> 0:07:45.160 you'll notice. I think a lot of times in a 0:07:45.200 --> 0:07:47.920 shootout it's at some point towards the end of the 0:07:47.960 --> 0:07:50.800 game one of the defenses makes a critical play, a 0:07:50.800 --> 0:07:54.040 critical stop, a critical turnover, something like that. And I 0:07:54.120 --> 0:07:56.000 actually look at this Dallas team and I think this 0:07:56.120 --> 0:07:59.280 defense is light years ahead of where they were in 0:07:59.360 --> 0:08:01.400 Week one. I think they are a much better defense 0:08:01.400 --> 0:08:02.880 at this point than they were back then. I think 0:08:02.880 --> 0:08:05.800 they've settled into their roles, and so I do think 0:08:05.800 --> 0:08:07.800 this is the kind of defense if they got into 0:08:07.840 --> 0:08:10.040 that kind of game, they may not stop them most 0:08:10.080 --> 0:08:12.040 of the day, but I think they have the kind 0:08:12.080 --> 0:08:15.400 of defense that and give it put in a specific situation, 0:08:15.800 --> 0:08:18.760 here's the game you need to make a stop. I 0:08:18.840 --> 0:08:20.960 think this defense can maybe make that kind of play. 0:08:21.000 --> 0:08:23.480 And I think that's the difference between maybe what we 0:08:23.520 --> 0:08:25.320 saw in Week one versus what we could see you 0:08:25.400 --> 0:08:30.480 think over time, Oh, it's possibility, for sure, everything's possible 0:08:30.520 --> 0:08:33.480 in this game. Like these are two I mean these 0:08:33.520 --> 0:08:37.040 are two two of the top five offenses in the NFL, 0:08:37.720 --> 0:08:39.959 not even not even look at the conference, like two 0:08:39.960 --> 0:08:42.720 of the top offenses in the NFL. So and two 0:08:42.760 --> 0:08:45.199 defenses that can give it up like we've seen both 0:08:45.200 --> 0:08:47.200 these two defense give up a ton of yards. So 0:08:47.240 --> 0:08:49.400 I expect these offenses to go up and down the field. 0:08:49.400 --> 0:08:51.199 Well what it ends up in, whether it's field goals 0:08:51.280 --> 0:08:53.840 or touchdowns, who knows, but I do expect them to 0:08:53.880 --> 0:08:56.600 move up and down the field. Pretty you mentioned field 0:08:56.720 --> 0:08:59.959 goal and I'm like, watch this be the freaking game 0:09:00.440 --> 0:09:03.520 where it comes down to like the kicker or something 0:09:03.559 --> 0:09:06.120 like that. And then it's like, are you kidding me? 0:09:06.240 --> 0:09:08.559 It will it will come down to one of the 0:09:08.600 --> 0:09:11.400 kickers is gonna make a game winning kick. They'll come down. 0:09:11.480 --> 0:09:13.679 I mean every every game at the end of the 0:09:13.720 --> 0:09:16.320 half or the game always seems to come down to 0:09:16.400 --> 0:09:18.680 a kick or field goal here. So yeah, I would 0:09:18.960 --> 0:09:23.079 say and missed one though, like we've been talking about 0:09:23.080 --> 0:09:25.199 it so much and they going by, and I mean 0:09:25.320 --> 0:09:28.920 we know that Greg, and he's back, so he's expected 0:09:28.960 --> 0:09:32.960 to play in this game, and we know how Usually 0:09:33.040 --> 0:09:36.000 we say, oh when key moments like that, he'll kind 0:09:36.040 --> 0:09:38.680 of put it up and make it. But then what 0:09:38.800 --> 0:09:41.280 if it goes the other way this time around when 0:09:41.320 --> 0:09:45.120 you really really need him. So hopefully not hopefully this 0:09:45.240 --> 0:09:47.240 is just you know, and they have a good kicker. 0:09:47.240 --> 0:09:50.600 Who are They're getting nervous. But but yeah, he's good. 0:09:50.760 --> 0:09:53.520 I mean he's real good. Actually, he missed last week. 0:09:53.600 --> 0:09:55.040 Was it last week or a week before us that 0:09:55.120 --> 0:09:58.200 he missed it? The kick it was? It was I 0:09:58.200 --> 0:09:59.839 think it was a makeable thing, was like in the 0:10:00.120 --> 0:10:02.080 forty range, but I'm not sure about that. But I 0:10:02.080 --> 0:10:03.760 do remember him missing I was watching the game and 0:10:03.840 --> 0:10:05.880 he missed one. Anyway, it's like our first break when 0:10:05.880 --> 0:10:07.720 we come back. I want to dive a little bit 0:10:07.720 --> 0:10:10.479 into the idea of how you know. Obviously, the Cowboys 0:10:10.600 --> 0:10:13.160 are the team that has the better record in this instance, 0:10:13.200 --> 0:10:15.920 but I think nationally everyone looks at the Kansas City 0:10:15.920 --> 0:10:19.920 team and thinks they are among the league's elite. My 0:10:20.040 --> 0:10:21.679 question for you guys that we'll talk about when we 0:10:21.679 --> 0:10:23.000 come back from the break is how much of a 0:10:23.040 --> 0:10:25.480 measuring stick game is this for the Cowboys And what 0:10:25.520 --> 0:10:26.880 does it mean if they win? What does it mean 0:10:26.920 --> 0:10:28.520 if they lose. I'll talk about that when we come 0:10:28.559 --> 0:10:31.360 right back. This is Dallas Cowboys dot Com Radio.

Nobody knows. 0:13:53.760 --> 0:13:55.559 I've never seen the two of them in the same place. 0:13:58.640 --> 0:14:00.800 You haven't, I don't think so. I'm trying to think. 0:14:00.880 --> 0:14:03.360 I don't think so. Well. I was. I was up 0:14:03.480 --> 0:14:05.760 there working the other day when he was parading around. 0:14:05.840 --> 0:14:08.120 Where are you? Oh? Maybe I wasn't. Maybe you were. 0:14:08.320 --> 0:14:12.240 Maybe I'm rowdy, Maybe I am all right. Welcome back 0:14:12.280 --> 0:14:14.000 to the second second of the break laughing s WBC 0:14:14.120 --> 0:14:16.000 morg Studios. At the start, we got Dave joining us 0:14:16.080 --> 0:14:18.400 right now. Dave you as you walk off with close McCarthy, 0:14:18.720 --> 0:14:23.680 he give us anything anything. It's I love working here, um, 0:14:24.840 --> 0:14:28.960 without trying to dive into specifics too much. For the 0:14:29.000 --> 0:14:32.120 last twenty minutes, I've been like, how are we going 0:14:32.160 --> 0:14:35.520 to talk about the Cowboys making a guard change without 0:14:35.640 --> 0:14:38.360 just coming out and saying that's what's happening. And then 0:14:38.680 --> 0:14:42.560 Jerry Jones does it for me. Literally as I was, 0:14:42.640 --> 0:14:45.080 I was coming down wondering about this, and then I 0:14:45.160 --> 0:14:46.720 saw a Twitter and I was like, oh, okay, so 0:14:46.720 --> 0:14:51.640 it's out there. Connor McGovern's gonna start at left guard. Um, 0:14:51.760 --> 0:14:54.920 that's probably the big thing I do want it. I 0:14:54.920 --> 0:14:57.440 didn't have a chance to talk to coach McCarthy about this, 0:14:57.560 --> 0:15:00.600 but I wonder it sounds like Tyren Smith it's gonna play. 0:15:01.600 --> 0:15:03.800 But they want to see him practice tomorrow. They want 0:15:03.800 --> 0:15:06.160 to make sure he's still on the up and up, 0:15:06.160 --> 0:15:08.480 and three days of practice is big to them. They 0:15:08.480 --> 0:15:11.760 do their last practice on Saturday instead of Friday. I 0:15:11.800 --> 0:15:15.960 think it's weird to play a new left guard if 0:15:16.040 --> 0:15:19.920 Tyrone's not ready to play. That's just me. So I 0:15:19.960 --> 0:15:22.840 wonder like if they do wind up sitting Tyron down, 0:15:24.040 --> 0:15:26.120 But it's hound like. It sounds like this is a 0:15:26.200 --> 0:15:28.560 full go Like it sounds like Connor McGovern is gonna 0:15:28.560 --> 0:15:30.920 start no matter what. But I wonder if that's a 0:15:30.960 --> 0:15:33.880 good idea to have Terrence Steele and Connor McGovern next 0:15:33.880 --> 0:15:37.120 to each other at Arrowhead all that type of stuff. 0:15:37.160 --> 0:15:40.640 They must feel like he's not going to be worse though, right, sure, yeah, 0:15:40.680 --> 0:15:42.520 you don't make it. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I 0:15:42.520 --> 0:15:44.280 think they probably look at it like, look, he's not 0:15:44.280 --> 0:15:46.320 gonna be worse, and if we can at least get 0:15:46.400 --> 0:15:49.120 rid of the penalties. And I think there's a there's 0:15:49.120 --> 0:15:52.440 a snowball effect that that's in play there too, where 0:15:52.520 --> 0:15:55.560 like opponents are going to key on Connor Williams, the 0:15:55.640 --> 0:15:58.760 referees probably are too, because he leads the league in penalties. 0:15:58.760 --> 0:16:01.720 It's like a self fulfilling prop to see at some point. So, yeah, 0:16:01.760 --> 0:16:03.520 I don't think he can be worse. It's just interesting 0:16:03.560 --> 0:16:05.960 to me, but I do. Um. I mean, I think 0:16:05.960 --> 0:16:08.520 Tyrn's gonna play, even though they're not one hundred percent 0:16:08.640 --> 0:16:11.760 ready to say that yet. But after last game. The 0:16:11.880 --> 0:16:15.400 way that Kellen Moore utilized McGovern in the game in 0:16:15.440 --> 0:16:18.480 so many different ways. I mean it makes me wonder 0:16:18.720 --> 0:16:21.080 is it a good idea? And I get it we've 0:16:21.120 --> 0:16:24.680 been complaining about Connor Williams, but after you see how 0:16:24.760 --> 0:16:27.880 much more Connor McGovern can give you in the offense 0:16:27.960 --> 0:16:31.560 of just like a surprise element type of thing that 0:16:31.680 --> 0:16:35.600 I'm sure Connor william maybe he could, but I was 0:16:35.640 --> 0:16:37.280 going to do that. I'm sorry, he is going to 0:16:37.360 --> 0:16:39.720 do that. You think it would be good at it? Yeah, 0:16:39.800 --> 0:16:41.880 I think so. I mean I don't. I didn't think 0:16:41.920 --> 0:16:44.240 Connor McGovern would be that great at it, and Lyle 0:16:44.320 --> 0:16:46.680 Collins was actually good at it too. It's just blocking 0:16:46.680 --> 0:16:49.800 in space. I think Connor Williams is a good athlete 0:16:49.960 --> 0:16:52.000 and he can he can go and do that. So, yeah, 0:16:52.240 --> 0:16:54.160 he was a left tackle. That's he gets a lot 0:16:54.160 --> 0:16:56.120 of credit for his aspoticism. I don't know if they'd 0:16:56.240 --> 0:16:59.600 get it creative with him as they were starting to 0:16:59.640 --> 0:17:02.080 get with Connor mcgonn. I mean that was kind of 0:17:02.120 --> 0:17:03.840 do it so long. Yeah, like after so many weeks 0:17:03.840 --> 0:17:05.879 of practice, they're doing all kinds of goofy stuff with 0:17:05.960 --> 0:17:09.400 Connor McGovern. Maybe they just limited to more traditional fullback 0:17:09.400 --> 0:17:12.040 stuff with Connor. Have a feeling that Connor Williams's arrow 0:17:12.119 --> 0:17:14.680 is going to be pointed up higher than Connor McGovern's 0:17:14.720 --> 0:17:17.479 after this game, just because when you're playing, you know 0:17:17.520 --> 0:17:19.880 you're getting graded as a as a left guard. He's 0:17:19.880 --> 0:17:23.200 getting graded as this fun little fullback doing stuff, just blocking, 0:17:23.560 --> 0:17:25.280 and then the roles are going to get reversed, and 0:17:25.320 --> 0:17:27.439 then the penalties might get reversed. Then we'll see how 0:17:27.760 --> 0:17:30.080 we feel about it. They're making three position changes though 0:17:30.240 --> 0:17:32.320 for this game that from what we saw last week. 0:17:32.560 --> 0:17:34.919 We got a new left tackle, which is the starting 0:17:35.000 --> 0:17:37.760 left tackles. That's a good move, new left guard, and 0:17:37.760 --> 0:17:41.040 then new fullback because of all the dominoes, but it's 0:17:41.040 --> 0:17:43.760 all should be for the best. Yeah, I think, I mean, 0:17:44.440 --> 0:17:47.040 I don't think. I think Connor McGovern's gonna be fine, 0:17:47.200 --> 0:17:50.719 But the backups always more popular than the starter unless 0:17:50.720 --> 0:17:53.240 the starter is a stud. So and I think I 0:17:53.240 --> 0:17:55.440 think Connor Williams will be fine doing that role that 0:17:55.520 --> 0:17:58.360 McGovern was doing. But if they if he wasn't, and Nick, 0:17:58.400 --> 0:18:00.720 you and I had this conversation yesterday, I mean, there's 0:18:00.720 --> 0:18:04.320 nothing that stops them on some plays from swapping them out, 0:18:04.400 --> 0:18:07.880 so essentially putting Connor Williams at guard and having mcgoverned 0:18:07.920 --> 0:18:09.800 at fullback. They could do that if they chose to. 0:18:09.920 --> 0:18:12.040 On some plays now, of course I don't see it 0:18:12.119 --> 0:18:14.760 very often, Yeah, but it could. It could also telegraph 0:18:14.840 --> 0:18:16.879 maybe what they're going to want to do. Maybe they 0:18:16.960 --> 0:18:19.480 use that as a also as kind of camouflage on 0:18:19.520 --> 0:18:21.399 what they're gonna do. Right, So there are ways they 0:18:21.400 --> 0:18:23.520 could work that if they wanted to work it like that. 0:18:23.720 --> 0:18:26.080 I suspect that Connor Williams will be just as good 0:18:26.119 --> 0:18:28.800 doing the job as Connor mcgovernment, maybe even better because 0:18:28.800 --> 0:18:31.560 he is. I think athleticism has never been the problem 0:18:31.600 --> 0:18:33.920 for him. It's been strength for him. So I think 0:18:33.960 --> 0:18:36.400 getting him in space and letting him run and try 0:18:36.400 --> 0:18:38.760 to get blocks in open space, I think that probably 0:18:38.760 --> 0:18:42.520 is something him right now, I don't know. I think 0:18:42.520 --> 0:18:45.920 that's Connor williams issue. So we're gonna find out if 0:18:46.000 --> 0:18:48.240 if Connor mcgovernent has the same issue or if he's 0:18:48.280 --> 0:18:51.280 stronger that's there if that position. The funny thing like 0:18:51.320 --> 0:18:55.800 this probably won't change the chief's approach at all. They're like, um, 0:18:55.840 --> 0:18:57.800 we're gonna put Chris Jones over this guy that leads 0:18:57.800 --> 0:19:00.119 the league in penalties. And now it's like, oh, we're 0:19:00.160 --> 0:19:02.919 gonna put Chris Jones over the new starter who hasn't 0:19:03.080 --> 0:19:06.399 gotten to start much this year. Like, either way, guy's 0:19:06.440 --> 0:19:08.199
